already been adopted by other customers in the Finance and Telecom sectors.

Commenting, GB Group's Chief Executive, Richard Law said: 'The news that TD
Waterhouse is to become a customer of URU(TM) comes on top of other recent
successes in the Finance and Telecoms sectors and is an important endorsement of
URU(TM). This provides ourselves and BT with a bridgehead into these important
sectors from which to expand. Although these contracts are not currently
material in relation to the overall turnover of the Group, they are a strong
indication of URU's effectiveness in tackling money laundering and fraud and of
its potential to generate future revenues for the Group.'

Notes to editors

About URU(TM)

BT and GB Group have jointly developed the service, URU(TM), to help companies
protect themselves from the growing problem of identity theft and fraud, which
is estimated by the Cabinet Office to cost the UK economy over £1.3 billion per
annum. URU(TM) enables companies subscribing to the service to make an instant
decision whether to accept the identity claimed by any given individual.

URU(TM) works by asking a series of questions and checking the individual's answers
against national reference databases such as mortality, electricity, telephone
and financial industry data sets and, passport and driving licence details. No
personal data is disclosed by the reference databases, simply a 'match' or 'no
match' report is returned in seconds. As a result, URU(TM) is compliant with the
Data Protection Act. Furthermore, the service provides an independent audit
trail demonstrating that the necessary checks have taken place, thereby helping
companies comply with legislation, including the Money Laundering Regulations
2003.

The service also makes it easier for individuals to prove their identity and the
addition of data from CallCredit enables users of URU(TM) to incorporate credit
reference data.
